comment
First put out by Fantasy Games Unlimited in 1979, Villains and Vigilantes was the first complete superhero Tabletop RPG ever published (only preceded by Superhero 2044, a science fiction game with some superhero elements).The game was somewhat unique (and to some, ludicrous) for its character creation system. Namely, values such as strength, intelligence, health, etc. for player characters were approximated by the GM from those values in the person playing the character. Powers were acquired by rolling dice and consulting a series of tables, sometimes resulting in bizarre combinations.A revised second edition was released in 1982.In 1986 FGU partnered with Eclipse Comics to release a four-issue Villains & Vigilantes mini-series that was largely a retelling of the introductory adventure "Crisis at Crusader Citadel" (which has the players applying to the Crusaders, the local hero team, but having to stand in for them when the Crusaders go AWOL just before a superhuman crime wave). Incidentally, a sourcebook for The DNAgents comic, run by the same company, was released for use with V&V the same year.Publishing new content petered off by the late 80's. After a long hiatus, in 2010 Fantasy Games Unlimited began releasing new material for the game, including quite a bit that had apparently just been sitting around unpublished since the game's heyday in The '80s. A legal battle between Fantasy Games Unlimited and original designers Jeff Dee and Jack Herman over the trademark ended with Dee and Herman being awarded ownership of the game, and being able to license the trademark from FGU.Over August-September 2016, Dee and Herman successfully ran a Kickstarter for a third edition, which was released in 2017 as V&V 3.0 Mighty Protectors.

The Juggernaut: A lot of adventures and villain roster books have at least one villain who's of the super-strong/really hard to put down variety. Like Bull from "Crisis at Crusader Citadel," Rocker from "Pre-Emptive Strike," Mongo from "Dawn of DNA", Sludge from "Secret in the Swamp", etc.

comment
Captain Ersatz: Proditor Capella from "Opponents Unlimited" is basically an evil version of The Greatest American Hero. Except, unlike Ralph Hinkley, Proditor Capella never lost his instruction book. "Great Bridge", the game's supplement on Japanese supervillains, has some that are recognizable as evil knockoffs of famous anime characters, like Astro Boy and Ash Ketchum.

Master of Unlocking: The villain Pillager from "Escape from the Microverse" has a magic sword that can be used to unlock any "ordinary" lock or barrier (although it doesn't explain any further, leaving whether a high-tech computerized lock in a superteam's base counts as "ordinary" up to the individual GM, for example).

comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Blastin' Butch from "Opponents Unlimited" loves to use his energy blast attack because it's so cool, even though it costs eight times the amount of energy per shot vs the standard power from the rulebook for the same amount of damage. The description of the power even makes note of this and how he frequently exhausts himself unnecessarily from overrelying on it.

Combo Platter Powers
 Villains & Vigilantes (Tabletop Game) / int_2c9ef8f7
comment
Combo Platter Powers: The "official" way to roll up a character for the game was to pick a table of powers (like general powers, magic/psionic powers, magic/psionic items, and skills), and then roll percentile dice to determine what powers your character had. This could result in some strange combinations, which can also be seen in some of the characters, like Mace from Crisis at Crusader Citadel. As his name implies, he wields a tricked out mace, but for some reason he also has a superhuman sense of smell despite having a background that fails to suggest he's anything more than an everyday thug. It's even played up when he appears in the comic mini-series.

Government Agency of Fiction
 Villains & Vigilantes (Tabletop Game) / int_33affa42
comment
Government Agency of Fiction: C.H.E.S.S., written at least originally to give a quick example of how to design a "good" comic book-style organization. Showed up in modules sometimes as a nebulous group that could give player heroes missions or show up to take supervillains into custody. Since there was no cohesive setting, seemingly due to individual ownership rights, a lot of contributing writers would make up their own for these purposes in the modules they wrote. Thus also giving us F.I.S.H. (really, standing for Federal Intelligence Security Headquarters), G.I.A.N.T. (Government Investigation into the Application of New Technologies), the A.S.A. (American Security Agency) and more recently A.C.T.I.O.N. (the Allied Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Operations Network).

Death Is Cheap
 Villains & Vigilantes (Tabletop Game) / int_37fcf16
comment
Death is Cheap: Since this is based on comic books where death is often only a temporary setback, when a PC dies it's usually only permanent if the player wants it to be. Even lampshaded in the comic miniseries. There are penalties to doing this, though, mainly in that a character who comes back loses all their levels.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Adventure Terror By Night has a vampire among its prominent characters and addresses things like repelling them with crosses. The object itself would be meaningless...unless the person wielding it is doing so out of a genuine belief the power of God will protect them from creatures of evil. Something like a vampire being repelled by the arms of a windmill is right out.

Bull Seeing Red: In the comic mini-series there's a scene where several of the heroes are being menaced by the super-strong villain known as Bull. The heroine Evergreen uses a variety of plants to attack him, only to be warned that the red blooms on some of them are making Bull angry. She counters that bulls can't see red. This is true, but Bull's a mutant human and he is enraged by the color red, and as one of the team's archenemies it seems like she would've heard his story a long time ago

One wonders if this was the author voicing his own opinion of the song.

Big Bad: Many of the main villains of adventures qualify; examples of genre-specific baddies are Doctor Apocalypse (from "Death Duel with the Destroyers" and "The Island of Doctor Apocalypse"), the Purple Mask ("To Tackle the TOTEM"), and the Organizer ("Organized Crimes"). And of course there's the two-part adventure serial, "Devil's Domain" and "Dawn of the Devil", where the heroes fight the forces of the ultimate evil (that's what he says, anyway).

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Averted in an issue of the comic series. The villains have captured the heroes and hit them with a coma-inducing vapor. New member Manstar asks why they don't just kill the heroes, and veteran member Mace explains that when a superhero "dies", they usually just come back with a vengeance, and the Crushers are actually saving themselves a bigger headache later.

Character Level

comment
Character Level: Done differently than most games, with the levels set up around reflecting how experienced characters are rather than unlocking large bonuses, since comic book superheroes rarely get gradually more powerful over their careers. That is, a 1st-level character will find it harder to hit a 10th-level character than he will when he's built a few levels of his own. There are some minor stat bonuses to be had, but that's it.

Satan: Two adventures created to supply a desire for more challenging adventures and evil opponents were "Devil's Domain" and "Dawn of the Devil". The first has the players fighting to stop "the Devil" from escaping a hellish dimension, while the second has him destroying the world after doing so. Whether he's the true "fact behind the name" is left up to the individual GM, though.

Shout-Out
 Villains & Vigilantes (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out Several via counters for the comic convention in "The Great Iridium Con". We've got two guys cosplaying as the comic book versions of Thor and Odin, a stormtrooper from Star Wars, and the Fourth Doctor. Human-hating robot R.I.N.G. in "Battle Above the Earth" is named after the robot "monster" in Kolchak: The Night Stalker, with the acronym altered just slightly. The opening scenario in Terror By Night features a remake of the movie Plan 9 from Outer Space. Kind of a subtle one, but the module "Enter the Gene Pool" has the title villains kidnapping the star of a 70's superhero show from a book signing event.note  They're a new team trying to earn some notoriety by kidnapping low-risk targets who still have ties of some kind to the superhuman world. From what details are revealed, it sounds a lot like real 70's superhero shows like The Greatest American Hero or The Secrets of Isis. Where, thanks to budgetary restrictions, the hero would usually save people in trouble and fight normal organized crime at most, instead of supervillains.

Secret Government Warehouse: In "Dawn of the Devil", when the players finally manage to locate the CHESS repository that has the coordinates for the planet they need to visit to fix things, they also find a stash of legendary artifacts like Excalibur or the robes of Muhammad, along with other stuff like alien weapons. Seemingly to give players a chance to temporarily upgrade their characters, considering they're going to a planet completely infested with monsters, before having a final boss fight with the ultimate evil. Which are a little beyond everyday supervillains.
